Auckland Waitematā Harbour Sailing Cruise

The Auckland Waitematā Harbour Sailing Cruise takes passengers out onto the harbour that defines the city, offering views of the Waitematā waterfront, the Waitemata Harbour Bridge, and the volcanic cones of the surrounding landscape from the water. Auckland's harbour has been central to the city since its founding in 1840, and sailing it remains one of the most direct ways to understand the geography of New Zealand's largest city.

On board, guests experience open-water sailing rather than a motorised tour, with the vessel using wind to navigate the harbour. The cruise typically covers the inner harbour, passing landmarks visible from the water including the CBD waterfront and Devonport. Tickets cover the sailing duration and onboard access.
